Did you ever have 'the talk' with your parents

John Doe1

My mother tried to tell me about sex at 11, to begin she told me about a period for some reason (im a male) then got embarressed and just gave me an educational book about it. I already knew what sex was about from being told by older cousins though when i was about 9 though.

The King of Moo

Never! They're very very closeted about sex, never came close to mentioning it when I was a kid and I'm still not sure they know exactly what it is.

amacachi

Nah, they knew I wasn't a spastic and could work it out myself.

Kevin Duffy

I tried to, but my parents already knew what sex was so I hardly had to tell them anything.

Bipolar Joe

The practicals scarred me for life.

No and i won't be having 'the talk' with my son either.

Maybe i might say make sure you wear protection when the appropriate time comes up. But there will be no birds and bees discussion.

Greentopia

My Mum told me some things that were age appropriate when I was 8 or 9-periods, procreation, but I got most of my sex education from British women's magazines tbh. Sex education in school was crap.

It's a beautiful day, the sun is out, the birds are singing, the bees are trying to have sex with them, as is my understanding....

Nope, just about girl stuff (periods). Then I got a 'facts of life' book. One half was about puberty/adolesence, other half was about babies and pregnancy '_'
It was v american though and talked avout stuff like 'heavy petting' and 'necking' :pac:

Kinda.

Well the odd time when I was early teens my Mom would have asked do you know how...etc. Pure awkward.

But its kinda pointless really because I'd seen it by the time I was 10 or 11. As had my friends.

Didnt really understand the attraction to it until I was a little older because its thought in a very mechanical kinda of way, so you've know Idea that its pleasurable.

Dont think it needs to be taught this day and age, except a talk on contraception to teens tho they're told at school anyway.

Tl; dr; Your lazy, and no one likes you :rolleyes:

My "talk" consisted of my dad saying keep your hand in your plumbing and you'll be grand.

What a strange thing for a father to encourage in a daughter.

senordingdong

Go for a girl with small hands.....


...still not sure why.

Richard Hillman

You'd have to know my dad to understand, typical cork man

ShamoBuc

No chat at all.... had to find it out for myself...trial and error...must thank them actually!!

I was unaware of the Cork habit of creating innuendo by misusing prepositions. It explains many of the face-slapping experiences I've had with Cork women.....

Novella

Nope, never. My mum just started saying things like, "Don't get yourself into any trouble now, you know what I mean". :pac:

You outsiders make it sooooo easy for us:D

Ruu_Old

No, the school yard and/or sixth class talk for us, girls given a separate talk as well. Awkward enough having a sex scene appear on the telly with parents in the room, how bad would "the talk" have been?!?! :eek:

Superbus

Nah, my cousin told me everything when I was 10.



She was 6.

tatabubbly

Yeah, mam handed me a book at 10, that was it!

Leant the rest from the girls bathroom chats!

The House Of Wolves

Learnt most of it from women's magazines and the girls. We had "THE TALK" (yes, we were sent home a sheet and it actually said THE TALK on it ) in 6th class of a girls school. Was shocked to see that some girls didn't know anything, tbh.

whubee

nope i have an older brother so he must have drawn the short straw - im not entirely sure how i found out.
thinking about it, they brought a kind of mini encyclopedia into the house...at about the right time, it featured the knob the minge-piece and the whole sexification process.

very slimy.

their tactics i mean.

Tar.Aldarion

no, nothing at all. ever.

a nun tried to teach us in 6th class, i took the piss, so did others, and all the guys got kicked out and heard little, the girls stayed :S

emeraldstar

My mom and I were in a bookshop and she walked up to me and said, "I'm buying you a book". Me, all happy thinking I was getting a new Point Horror or something, then she held out this bright-coloured yoke called "Girl Talk" by Amanda Bee. When you flipped it over the back was another book called "Boy Talk" by Peter Bird. It was then handed down among my younger siblings. Thanks Ma.

Taco Corp

I didn't and I cringe at the thoughts of it. I'd say the only things my parents know about sex are the rhythm method and were to put it.

Cupcake_Crisis

I managed to completely avoid that, thank god!

Snowie

I got a book left under my pillow all very discreet... I read it..

went back out and had fun tho then they brought us on holidays

I remember the first time i saw pubes tho i was

Like yus

wild_cat

I got one of those books to... but it had a highly religious slant if I remember correctly.

Did someone tell them to go out and buy books or what. It seems like a pretty common thing.. I'd just talk to the child out straight.

Azureus

Yeah I got a book.
But then was told to only read parts of the book, because other bits ''did not apply to me at my age'' (mammy wanted me to know about periods but not about sexytime).

This obviously meant I enthusiastically read all of it, thinking there was something mega interesting Id be missing, there wasnt-I got bored. Until I hit about 16 and got interested in finding out again
